We spent a lot of our time in studio brainstorming ways to establish our characters personality and putting a narrative together. 

We had quite a journey to come to consensus on a script and storyboard

By the end we were unfortunately not able to get to the animation but we were able to combine the storyboard and the script (audio form + bird sounds etc.) as well as make some still shots of our scenes

We wouldn't say that the time spent on establishing character was wasted but, I think we agree that we could do a better job managing our time and collaborating with each other more
